teppan
Japanese iron plate
Teppan is a flat iron griddle used in Japanese cooking.
The word appears most often in teppanyaki, a style of cuisine where meat, seafood, and vegetables are grilled on a hot steel surface, often theatrically by chefs at tableside: We sat around the teppan and watched him flip shrimp into his hat.
